Anyone scare they might go on labor at work?

So I am 37 weeks plus 2 days. And I've been told my baby is ready to come my belly is a lot lower and he is head down since my 34th week. I am working full time until the 29th of this month and I'm due November 7th. I am so frightened he comes earlier I work about an hour away from home and I don't know how nervous I will get when I go on labor ftm here.

I'm not worried about going in to to labor "at work" but I'm nervous about still working when my daughter is born. I have OCD lol, and even though it sounds silly I just want to be done with work before hand or I'll feel like I have unfinished business. My last day is this Thursday. I'll be 38+2 :-)

Been head down since 28 weeks :)
I'm not too worried about going into labour at work. At least i wouldn't be on my own.
My mum worked at an ER as a physician and went into labour while attending to injured people with both me and my brother. At least maternity ward wasn't far...

Yes I would keep a bag in the car just in case you have to go in. You have to just think about delivering a healthy baby any day. Hope all goes well and you and the baby do great

It's possible. I think about it all the time too. Luckily I live 5 min from my home.  Do you keep your hospital bag in your car? I would.  How far is the hospital from your job?
